Invensys DCS workstations meet Achilles standards

Invensys Operations Management has announced that its Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS) operator workstations have passed the Achilles Cyber Security Certification test.

The testing was conducted on the Foxboro I/A Series Model P92 Workstation for Windows hardware and I/A Series AW70 human machine interface (HMI) software for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, including I/A Series Foxview, Foxalert, Alarm Manager and System Manager applications.

As proposed by the ISA99 security standard, an HBD is a general-purpose device running a general-purpose operating system capable of hosting one or more applications or data stores.

Invensys Operations Management also recommends that customers assess their overall cyber security capabilities as part of an ongoing security and robustness programme for computerised industrial systems.
